Wondering if any of you guys have dealt with it? My datalogs are showing 1 to 4 degrees being pulled due to knock and Im looking for a little guidance.

2014 GT500

Current Mods:

-2.39 Upper Pulley
-ATI 10% lower pulley
-JLT CAI
-CJ TB
-MRT O/R H
-Bobs Oil Seperator
-ID 1000 Injectors
-KB Comp BAP
-E85
-Lund Tuned

Tested the E-85 at the pump last night and showed to be about E88 to E90.

A few things I am going to look at:
1) Intercooler Pump
2) Exhaust leak
3) Exhaust touching body of car

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

warrior, al
Would upping your octane cover up the possible issues or narrow it down to the combustion chamber ?

I am running E85 and no knock here. Check your exhaust and see if it is touching somewhere.

Sounds like an episode of Seinfeld but it was a doctors with jr mints instead.

I told you I'd come help you! i need to adjust my exhaust anyways, and can bring the ramps up to your place. super simple.

we need both cars to be ready for street car takeover in two weeks...and you need to get the tuning bugs worked out!

don't want anymore auto TT 5.0's sneaking up on you at 160 again do you....?

Believe it or not I used to get false knock as a result of the squishy transmission mount on an LS1 powered trans am with a SPEC clutch.
After installing a stiffer bushing I stopped getting KR.

Hey I had him from 40 to 155, so technically I won.... I attribute getting caught due to knock and no lower pulley :) I now have the lower, so just need to get rid of the knock!
